Hello dear aspirant

Both the branches are similar but aerospace engineering is better than aeronautical engineering. It has a better svope and better placement opportunities as well,  you can also go for research after your B.Tech


Hope I am clear

Hello Prince
The two types of aerospace engineers include aeronautical engineers (They work with aircraft that stay within the earth's atmosphere such as airplanes and helicopters.) and astronautical engineers (They work with aircraft that operate outside of the earth's atmosphere such as rockets, satellites, and other and spacecraft.) A degree in aerospace engineering should cover them both. As for the future, it is hard to say.

Both Aerospace and Aeronautical Engineering are good branches. You should choose the branch depending on the career path you foresee for yourself. If you want to work in the aircraft building industry then aerospace engineering is the right course for you. However, if you look forward to work in the space industry, then aeronautical engineering is the right branch for you.


You can also choose aeronautical specialisation after pursuing B.Tech in Aerospace or Mechanical Engineering. Make sure that you take admission in good colleges while choosing these streams of engineering in order to ensure jobs.

The employment for aerospace engineers is expected to grow about 5% which is a little slower than average.
It depends on you that which suits you best.
